Given the knowledge that the older nvidia drivers aren't fully udev
compatible, these nodes must be the ones created during the install. Thus,
(assuming you've restarted since) you must have a device tarball - ie. not

Several nvidia driver versions broke compatibility with older
graphics chipsets. They fixed them in 7174, then withdrew official
support for later versions.
